'Tell me about this big thrill…' says a man, a tarot card | |||
reader, to a woman caller who longs for a relationship with a man but | |||
won't start talking to any of them. She sees them in stores, on the | |||
street; she imagines that they're fascinated with her; she imagines | |||
that a state trooper sneaks into her apartment, rearranges her stuff | |||
as a message to her. In addition to reading tarot the guy gives | |||
common-sense advice, such as that she should strike up conversations | |||
with men she likes, go out more often. | |||
17:40: A guy calls the tarot reader, wondering if this other man loves | |||
him. | |||
20:10: A woman calls him as a wrong number; he insists on reading her | |||
cards. | |||
23:20: (Not on the tarot hotline) A guy remembers his father, how much | |||
he misses him (he's dead), how he could always rely on him, talk to | |||
him about anything. The father commandeered a street-sweeper in | |||
Georgia, drove it into a cemetery. He misses his friends too, dead | |||
and alive. He talks about a picture in his room looking at him, | |||
over-hearing pay phone conversations.<ref>re-used in [[Dreamland: A Compilation]]</ref> | |||

Joe re-used [[Hot Line]] as the second half of [[Phone Therapy]], the | |||
first half of which is [[When I'm Calling You]]. | |||
== Commentary == | |||
Richard Looney (and his heirs, including WFMU) puts Davis Black in | |||
the cast of this show. joefrank.com puts him in the cast of 'Men of | |||
the cloth' and 'Prayer remix'. jfwiki puts him in the cast of | |||
'Hotline', 'Phone therapy', and 'Prayer (remix)'. 'Prayer (remix)' is | |||
'God' followed by 'Prayer' - Black can't be in the first without being | |||
in one of the last two. I don't hear the tarot card reader of the | |||
first 3 segments in 'God' or 'Prayer'. I don't recognize the voice of | |||
the guy in the fourth segment. I can't find any evidence of a likely | |||
Davis Black on the Internet. There are tarot card hotlines. | |||
